Default Washer pump

Morning,

My washer pump has stopped working, I can't even here it trying so I know it's not just a blocked pipe.

Does anybody know which fuse it is so I can check this first before i get a new one pump?

Thanks

I'd remove the pump, (dead easy), and check that first it has a feed, and second, the pump itself isn't full of crud.

Backflush it with HOT water, not boilng.

Take the chance to remove and flush the washer bottle at the same time. Mine was ALSO full of crud, no idea where it comes from, never had owt in it but decent washer fluid

Vinegar is good if the pump is crusted up inside.
